European Union lawmakers are currently debating on passing a new digital policy which enhances regulation on companies, which use, Artificial Intelligence. This includes Google, Facebook, and Apple among others. These three gigantic companies have made big investments in Artificial Intelligence and U.S. government has been funding greatly to help grow this new technology. In the US and Canada, the number of international PhD students graduating in AI continues to grow, and currently exceeds 60% of the PhDs produced from these programs. AI labor demand is growing especially in high-tech services and the manufacturing sectors. However, in the case of Europe, the debate is to draw attention towards potential risks by adopting Artificial Intelligence; privacy concerns, trusting complex algorithms to diagnose diseases, and the use of self-driving cars. To what extent, digital economy will be impacted by these regulations? In your point of view, what are the ethical challenges which government should be concerned of, in regard to, AL use?

I think that the government needs to establish clear boundaries between the use of AI and its operational safety standards towards society. Machine Learning is necessary in order to create the different forms of AI that exist, such as systems used in global banking, healthcare and various industries, but even though there are regulations companies have to follow, they vary worldwide. From a global standpoint, there are different models of what is considered ethical in terms of AI and invasion of privacy or trusting complex algorithms. Decision making capabilities of AI algorithms are not completely trusted till this day as they contain a certain degree of error that human-decision making does not have, but I think if companies are careful and take into account that AI systems need to adapt to human change and cultural differences, they could be more effective in achieving their goals without invading ethical standards.
